Folder Preparation Review

I suggest you establish a folder scheme that will provide you with an orderly way of saving files in the future. Look at your "My Documents" directory as an office file cabinet with a number of drawers and within each drawer a hanging file folder and within each file folder a document or picture. Make it a habit to save ALL of your "Data" type files in this directory and making sub folders as required. Later if you have a CD Burner/Maker, you will easily be able to make a periodic backup disk of your "My Documents" directory. We will talk about CD Burners at another session.

A typical photo album structure shown below is an example of a suggested format.

            MY DOCUMENTS (Already a default folder)

                        MY PICTURES (Already a default folder)

                                    2005 PHOTOS

                                                FAMILY PICTURES

                                                KK RV RESORT

                                                MARY’S BIRTHDAY

CREATE A NEW FOLDER

1.      Open your "My Documents" folder in your "C Drive"

2.      Right Click (RC) anywhere in a blank/white area of the directory.

3.      Move cursor over "New" then Left Click (LC) on "Folder"

4.      A new folder is displayed with the default name of "New Folder" pre selected.

5.      With the New Folder, name highlighted type in your new folder name, and then press "Enter."

You can always go back later and change whatever name you enter by merely LC once to highlight the name to be changed. LC once more and begin typing the new name.
